Fast travel from the start will make it easier for speed runners, but mandatory invasions even when offline are the trade-off in this game, so I guess it evens it out.

 

 

Hope they increase PvP range from +-10 to something like 20 or 25.. ppl i often randomly meet are always out of my range, so i couldnt ask for a duel out of them

 

Yeah :/

But the covenant of the fittest will get you instant duels so thats an improvement on the PvP scene. And at launch there'll be no shortage of duels, and even 2.5 years later I'm sure you can find good duels.

Ignore if already posted. Found some interesting new info

 

  • There's now voice chat during co-op.
  • Co-op matchmaking has undergone some fundamental changes and will now allow you to choose regional matchmaking, as well as worldwide, so you can team up with people who are closer to your geographical location.
  • Players will have the choice of ten different gods, and if friends are signed up to the same god, their chances of being connected are increased.
  • Ability to burn items in a bonfire to increase enemy difficulty and reduce the chances of player invasion.
  • There's also an item - Soul Vessel that can reset your character parameters, presumably enabling you to change your playstyle by redistributing your Soul Level points more easily

The bold part :coolspeak:

Being able to invade hollow is not at all a good thing, as it is now 20-30% of ppl just disconnect after seeing invading message. Its a lot of timewaste for invaders. Now that hollows adds to the list the percentage only increases :(

 

But since it's server based now, I'm sure there'll be dedicated servers just for duel mongers.

Dark souls is about gameplay and lore not gfx . I dont think tessellation , dx11 etc would be there but Durante is there .

it's criminal to release a PC game in 2014 without DX11 ..Seriously :rant: ..I don't care if they dunno how to make PC games just hire some 3rd party dev like Nixxes for PC version...

Will PC version support sweet DX11 features like Tessellation nd all ?

 

LOL, first let them release a proper version with proper controls. Then we can worry about graphics department.

(also, mods will be there, so nothing to worry).

^^They are probably too busy with just the SE/Eidos stuff. They arent exactly a huge team.

 

I am not too worried about the PC version. With Durante's fix the PC version already was a MASSIVE improvement over the console versions. So even if they put in zero effort like before, it will still be fine. Of course there is still the release date. If its more than a couple of weeks late I might have to get the PS3 version first. :/
